Game of Thrones

Game of Thrones is a series that has prided itself on realism in a fantastical setting. Favorite characters will die. Either way, the White Walkers' invasion will be what gets Jaime to turn on her, like how we wish some loyalists would do to certain presidents in the world. This is especially the case when it comes to traveling speeds in more recent seasons.

Tyrion may have had a moment with Rhaegal and Viserion in Meereen, but for the most part Game of Thrones has not done much to earn a Tyrion is a secret Targaryen reveal.

"What we had to go through to get the zombie polar bear was writing the zombie polar bear into every season of the show for about four seasons", D.B. Weiss explained, "Only to have Bernie and the visual effects guys, in the nicest possible way, say 'Fuck you, we can not afford a zombie polar bear'".

OK, that's maybe just too simple. "For the first timeyou are starting to see her defences broken".

While Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) and Jon Snow (Kit Harington) will fight the White Walkers head-on with their armies, Cersei will wait it out and will likely strategically settle at Euron Greyjoy's (Pilou Asbæk) castle further southeast with the water dividing them. For Season 7, however, there's been a noticeable fast-forward button pressed on traveling in order to expedite the storytelling, but it appears it hit an apex in "Beyond the Wall". The fewer they become, the better for Cersei to defeat them eventually.

Daenerys and her dragons - Viserion, Drogon and Rhaegal - flew in to rescue Jon Snow and his fearless band of men, who were surrounded by hundreds of white walkers and wights. Many are still confounded by Ser Davos' journey from Dragonstone to Flea Bottom, and then from Dragonstone to Eastwatch, all within one episode - even for the Onion Knight, that's a pretty impressive trip. "This year made flawless sense that you could have one of these things out there, and we really put our four feet down and said goddamnit, we want a zombie polar bear". This all occurs within what is only shown to be a single day.

Those responsible for the original hacking of HBO, which saw 1.5 terabytes of data stolen including Game Of Thrones scripts and personal employee data, have now apparently released even more information.
